Policy on linking dangerous research
1: Relevance: Posts must be directly relevant to investigation of Pizzagate: the sexual/physical abuse and/or murder of children by elites, child trafficking organized by elites, and/or cover-up of these activities and/or the protection/assistance provided to the people who engage in said activities. See definition of Pizzagate and examples of relevant posts.
2: Empiricism: EACH factual claim that is not common knowledge must be sourced with a link. If you ask a question: Explain what led to your question and provide sources. If you present opinion/argument, connect your dots and provide sources for them. Avoid baseless speculation. ALL posts must include at least one link.
3: Clarity: All titles must adequately describe post content and must establish direct relevance to pizzagate. EACH link in your post must include a description of content and how the link relates to the post (except when markup is used to embed links in the specific text they support).
4: Meta submissions and general discussion submissions without sources will be removed. Please submit indirectly relevant posts to /v/pizzagatewhatever and unsourced questions to /v/AskPizzagate. Sourced activism / publicity posts and memes are allowed. Posts about the subverse itself go to /v/pizzagatemods.
5: You must label NSFW posts (“Not safe for work”; for example gore, nudity etc.) as such when submitting.

She was the plaintive and SHE accepted the settlement, therefore she won. The amount of the settlement is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that she shut down anyone else calling her a prostitute - because she wasn't. Your whole point was that it is too hard for a high profile individual to prove libel/slander - obviously, it's not. A lot of people have called Clinton a rapist. He could have picked someone without as many resources as Alex Jones to make an example of, but he hasn't. Bill Clinton does not sue because he is a rapist and a statutory rapist.

She still didn't win. She settled......on very favorable terms, but what she didn't do is prove libel/slander. In fact, there's another case with the Daily Mail that is still ongoing. We shall see where that goes. You also don't know if she was the first to offer to settle.
This individual case does not change what I said: "The libel bar for public officials, especially a president is very, very high. To point where it's not worth it to sue."
Hustler Magazine said Jerry Falwell lost his virginity to his mother in an outhouse. He sued and lost.
In answer to the original question, "Isn't it strange......" The answer is a clear no. It's not strange because it's often not worth it, you can sue like Jerry Falwell, spend a lot of time and money and still lose.
Does anyone ask, "Isn't it strange that Alex Jones was never sued by George W. Bush for saying 9/11 was an inside job and selling Tshirts? No. They don't. And for the same reason.

The hustler magazine suit was over a parody so that is not comparable to Jones calling Bill a rapist...

Also, the blogger in the Melanie case apologized and admitted the statements were false...
So I'm not sure where you are going with this. The 9/11 case would involve the emails and communications of George W. and other top politicians to be revealed, so it would be best they kept silent.
The question of why Bill Clinton has not sued Alex Jones still remains.
